Apologies for the continued abuse of a much abused acronym, but a recent long-winded debate on opensuse-factory made me think that perhaps the opensuse project could do with a steering committee? I have not thought much about it, I would appreciate any and all opinions.
Sorry, I'm not going to read all thread, so something I write here might already been said, but because you want all opinions, here I go: I agree we need some kind of Steering Committee, Release Team, however we'll call it. Board is not a SC/RT, because it deals with non-technical decisions and obviously we need different type of people in Board and in SC/RT. In the past (immediately after 11.4 release) we tried to estabilish something like that, because lot of people screamed that release process of 11.4 was not ideal. We started a wiki page[1] and encouraged people to step up and plan the next release together with Coolo and Darix. Sadly no one did, so 12.1 was again planned and released mostly by Coolo. We are again in the similar period (shortly after the release) and people are again asking about the Release team. I hope someone will step up this time and help the guys with planning. So my take is that we don't have to discuss if we need this or not (36 emails?!), but just step up, contact Coolo and do it together!
